ok im in the process of writing a very long necron tactics article, and im looking for name for is (tactica Necronis is already taken...)

thanks for any help

EDIT: to give you an idea how long it is, i only just finished writing about the wargear and im up to 1500 words (almost 3 pages)

oh and euleze and brak, may i ask you a favour and get you to write a couple of lines about each of the dark eldar and ork units and what they are like fighting necrons, aswell as any wargear that is particually devastating aainst necrons (you will receive proper credit in the document, as will anyone who submits information that is included)

Cal feel free to help with the Eldar side of things, as im not to sharp on my eldar skills

Sure Meaphet


Number 1 tactic for not loosing to Necrons with Eldar: Never play Meaphet Ran!

Number 2 tactic: Make sure you have very lucky dice, or at least not the cursed ones I played with when I vs. him.

Kidding obviously, I'll be happy to help.


Cheers, Cal

Well ill do whatever i can to help, but as i said i havnt too much knowledge when it comes to necrons.....just enough to beat them :lol:

well just enough is good enough, ill probally combine what you each write

as the followers of khorne say :blood for the blood god!
but in this case its:info and knowledge for the tactia!

i actually topped 10,000 characters just before and im only part way through the elites

well i was up to till early morning but the tactica is up to 4000 words and im only just passed deployment...

my brain hurts i stayed up till2am, writing basic tactis/ stealing ideas...

Damn thats one fine tactica, cant wait to see the finished edition.....

ok heres what ive covered so far

Preface: stuff about not including specfics and what not
The Necrons: a about the necorns and their army types
Necron Specail rules: self explanitary
HQ: necron lord, and the ctan and wargear
Elite: pariahs, immortals and flayed ones
Troops: warriors
Fast Attack: Wraith, destroyers, scarabs
heavy support: tomb spyders, heavy destroyers monoliths
Basic necron tactics, including deployment and a paragraph on each of the types of necron armies
Psycological Warfar: im currently writing this
i have following

Advanced tactics: this is going to be the lengthy part as i go through tactics for each and every necron unit

Know Thine Enemy: ill be writing about every other type of army in 40k, and putting stuff in here

Special Thanks: this is where you guys who help get their names and credit for what they did.

the word count is up to 6000 words

is there anything else you think should be put in?

if you're still looking for stuff for the "know thine enemy" i've written up an anti-eldar unit breakdown recently... should be easy enough for me to adapt to be necron based for you

anything wwould help concerning eldar, the tacticqa may be further away than anticipated *cough* oblivion *cough*

No.1 Tactic for Necrons: Take 20 Warriors for every 500pts.
No.2 Tactic for Necrons: C-tan may be Gods but the suck a$$ on the table top.
No.3 Tactic for Necrons: Never play Guard or Eldar, if you can help it.

Never play guard? I almost laughed when I heard that. A total of 6 games maybe where I've vs Guard with my small Necron force, and I am yet to lose.
Given, his Ulthwe' Eldar kicked my butt......stupid Wraithlord


for tactics vsing Necrons...

-Wraith Lords are good.
-Lots of high strength or ap3 weapons. Don't bother with crappier weapons as they simply won't do anything.
-Focus your fire power. ie: Attempt to wipe out an entire Destroyer unit before swutching targets, as this means they won't be able to get back up (often).
-Beware of Heavy Destroyers, especially if your taking Vypers or Falcons.

-Beil-Tan battle plan: Probably best to target the destroyers first. I'd take lots of Falcons or Wave Serpents with troops inside. Vypers with heavy weapons (though don't expect them to last.) and reapers. Be really careful of destroyers or Wraiths when using reapers, its often smart to either get the first shot, or hunt them down with Vypers.
An Avatar to protect the reapers if you take alot of these guys can also be helpful. (for only 80 points its worth it.) And seeming not many Necron equipment really messed with your stats a Farseer isn't necasserily desperately needed. Probably a Pheonix Lord would be smart to simply take out mass Necrons in cc.
and yes: KILL THE LORD!


Cheers, Cal

sorry about this reaper but is has to be done

HA! haha ha he hmmm

take 20 warriors every 500 points? sure if you want a horde 10 forey 500 is fine, that said i only take 20 in my 1500pt list

ctan suck? well if you dont know what the hell youre doing, ctan are awsome if you can fit one in the amont of strategies the bring up is incredible.

dont play guard or eldar? i dont know what necron youre using but all i watch out for are nids and khorne

guard is simple and i walk all over eldar

Monoliths are real good in meat grinder missions as your necron warriors won't phase out in these kill all missions, don't focus on pariahs as for the same point cost of 10 you can hav the nightbringer instead.

but for the same price of a nightbringer you can have 10 pariahs

lol, its a tough one actually. I'd probably go with the Nightbringer though, simply because it would be cheeper to buy him than 10 Pariahs, and because ultimately he can't be shot to pieces and become less affective when he reaches close combat. (though he can of course be shot down.)

ok im planning on starting part 2 of my tactica soon (about time...) and i need those of you who know the ways of the Necron to help me cover all the individual tricks of the units (just the name and what it is what i have so far is

Nightbringer... not much to mention other than charge in like a loony

Deceiver: Refused flanks

Necron Lord.
ROVOD Lord(reserection orb Veil of Darkness)
Suicide lord (VOD, nightmare shroud)
Wraith Wing lord (des body, war scythe, res orb and phase shifter.
Bug Zapper (des body, lightning field)

Warriors

immortals

Pariahs

Flayed Ones

Scarabs

Destroyers

Heavy Destroyer
